	+1 to both Michael's and Andy's responses. I simply use the built-in defaults for all my realtime, MIDI pieces. FWIW, here is my standard CsOptions line (running from a single folder and without a .csoundrc): -odac -M0 -m0d --expression-opt -b128 -B2048 -+raw_controller_mode=1 Art Hunkins ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael Gogins To: Csound Sent: Tuesday, April 09, 2013 8:41 AM Subject: Re: [Csnd] audio module on windows With the current real-time audio modules, PortAudio and wdmks have the best (and similar) latency. Which to use will depend upon the device's driver support, not on Csound. wsapi is not bad but not as fast. DirectSound is next. Then mme, but it will pretty much always work. For MIDI it doesn't matter much for just input, not sure about more complex uses.

Those are much faster than the MME drivers. For MIDI I use portmidi because it enables the "all" input device to be selected which makes things a lot easier than trying to deal with WinMM MIDI Mapper. There is also an issue with device enumeration in CsoundQt when winmm is selected, which makes choosing the correct input device difficult. I'd definitely steer people towards portaudio and portmidi in the explanation.
